Day 14

 


Not quite halfway through the month and I have more that half my miles ridden. But even better my friends and family have given over $1500 dollars to help fight childhood cancer. As a team "Riding is Bliss" we have raised over $6000! That is just amazing to me. I am so proud of all the riders on our team and thankful that we have such generous people in our lives. 

I started my ride today in Philippe Park.  While there I found these bags of oyster shells. I think that the shells are used on the parking spaces near the shore. I also thought they would be a good backdrop to take a picture of my bike leaning on them for a Facebook group I belong to called "Look At My Bike Leaning Against Stuff" It's just as it sounds. 

I started my ride today a little later because on Wednesday I volunteer at the Feast Food Pantry. Unfortunately we have been very busy but fortunately there have been many individuals and organization stepping up to help and donate food for the hungry.

Radiation Therapy

Dr. Galloway and the gang over at West Florida Radiation Therapy have developed a very efficient process of treating their patients. I arrive about 5 minutes before my scheduled treatment time. The waiting room is often empty in spite of having plenty of chairs. I have my temperature taken and wash my hands. Then within a minute or two I will have my name called. As I'm going back to the treatment room there is usually another guy just coming out of that room.  When the technicians are ready they call me in and I climb onto the treatment table. After I'm on the table my feet and legs are aligned using a hard pillow that is molded to my legs and feet. Then the table is moved into position and the technicians adjust me using lasers and my aiming tattoos.  The techs then leave the room and the machines take over. First two arm move into position to x-ray me to determine the position of my prostate. The table will make slight adjustments itself to move me into the best position. A...

Day 27 of the Great Cycle Challenge

  When I got up this morning the weather outside was cloudy and rainy. Not a good day to ride. Jan had planned to tide the stationary bikes today at the Safety Harbor Fitness Center. I decided to go with her.  When we got there no one was on the bikes so we had our pick. Jan chose a recumbent bike and I chose one that was more upright. It took a moment to familiarize myself with the touch screen. Then off I went! As with all my rides it takes a few miles to get into the rhythm. After about 2 miles or 10 minutes of riding I got the resistance set to a level I was comfortable with.  I rode for about an hour and according to the monitor that equaled about 12 miles which is about my normal ride time.  This ride brings me to 273.4 miles so far this month with 26.6 to go. That's a lot of riding in a month. If you would like to help with this cause just go to my Great Cycle Challenge page and click donate. Any amount helps.

Joy 3/09/22

Going out for lunch with friends and family. Something I have missed doing for the past several years. Now with the pandemic seemingly under control we all can start getting back to normal. Today we visited Hellas Greek restaurant and bakery. We started with Saganaki . I had one of my favorites, grilled octopus. For dessert it was chocolate covered baklava. Overall a great way to spend lunch.
